SB ($14.55)
BB ($5.30)
UTG ($25)
UTG+1 ($20.50)
MP1 ($8)
MP2 ($13.85)
MP3 ($23.45)

Preflop: Hero is CO with , .
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $0.75, MP1 calls $0.75, 2 folds, Hero raises to $3, Button calls $3, 2 folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds.

Hero?

I like my play preflop vs. the two loose MP guys. Unfortunately the button got involved. I'm open-ended with a pair on a monochrome board, now what?

People who play loose like to see flops and will pay silly prices to see them.

No way I'm checking here though.

The two MP guys were loose pre and moderate post-flop. I was isolating whichever one wanted to come to the flop with me. Q9s doesn't play too bad 3-way either. The button came in and threw a wrench in the works...
Now that we're past preflop can we talk about what to do after the flop?

if its not heavily high cards coordinated, i 'd make cb into this monotone flop.
Just thinking about his 3 bet calling range, i gotta say that this flop hit him pretty hard in my opinion. Also, we have showdown value against AK/AQ and other stuff. However, we have to fold if passive villain leads out when checked to.

This is just spew preflop. You´re inflating the pot with a hand, thats likely dominated by villians donkey-range if we think of {QT,QJ,KQ,AQ,A9,K9,22+ and more}

As played I hate putting in anymore money with 6 clean outs on a flop that hit his range pretty well.

How does Q9s play well postflop vs. 2 other players?

And I agree with fnord, gotta bet.

so if I have this right you have gone from being in position against one or two loose MP players to being oop against someone who flat called a 3bet preflop. Personally this looks more like a mid to high PP or SC's than a big PP.

Nowyou have a flop that could have hit him hard or could have him thinking he is drawing almost dead (if he doesn't have a spade).

IMO, this flop could be just as scary to villian as it is to you so I think the best line here is to lead out with a 2/3 - 3/4 psb and shut down to any call/raise.
Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

Ok, so we all agree to bet.
How much?
V has about twice the pot in his stack.

I bet $5.25, which was a pretty standard bet for me if we're deeper here. It leaves him just under $10 behind with a call, and gives me about 2:1 if he moves in.

Sorry for the potential hijack, but when I try putting villian on a range of hands I come up with the following:

22+,A8s+,KTs+,QJs,JTs,T9s,98s,AQo+

How far off is this range? Btw, the reason I ask is that I put that range into Pstove and if that range is accurate you are a slight favorite here.

Whether I'm a slight favorite vs. his total range is less important than what part of that range he folds to a bet and what part he pushes on. Or if I push here instead (for 2x pot), what is his calling range vs his folding range?

fold preflop.

As played, fold instead of checking.

bet fold therefore bet hard to reduce doubts. scary boards scares everyone apart from those that love it.

Your bet if pot sized only has to work 50%+ to be profitable and your perceived holding range is strong.

game plan A: if you think you have fold equity on this flop and decide to stack off with your outs whatsoever, just shove his ass.

game plan B: if you dont want to put more money in, just go check/fold or check/check mode. I wouldnt be surprised to see a cheap showdown and win this pot due to your villian's weak ass passive.

whenever we decide to play some certain spots, we'd better think twice about our possible game plans.

game plan C: bet/fold to a raise

He pushed... I folded because I planned to fold, but given the odds I'm getting, maybe I should have rethought it?

I'm getting 2:1 with most likely 11 outs(6 for the OE without putting 4 hearts on the board, 3 Qs, 2 9s) and he probably has a redraw to the flush, which puts me at roughly ~35%.

Or I could be drawing nearly dead, or I could already be ahead. I figure these two pretty much cancel out.

If he already has a flush, it's not a small one, and he's probably flatting and forcing me to a decision on the turn.

Considering all this, it's a toss-up. How's my logic?

I'll keep that in mind.

If you bet out and he shove, you are really past commitment threshhold and go all the way until showdown. Hmmm, he is not even full stack So i think we'd better shove his ass right on flop if we choose game A. However, i'm leaning towards Game B for some reasons.
